| Part of Neuron | Function |
|---|---|
| Dendron | Receives signals from other neurons |
| Axon | Conducts nerve impulses away from the cell body |
| Myelin Sheath | Insulates axon and speeds up nerve impulse transmission |
| Schwann Cell | Produces the myelin sheath |
| Node of Ranvier | Enables rapid nerve impulse conduction (saltatory conduction) |

| Part of Chromosome | Function |
|---|---|
| Chromatid | Contains DNA and transmits genetic information |
| Centromere | Joins chromatids and attaches spindle fibers during cell division |
| Nucleolar Organizer | Forms the nucleolus and synthesizes ribosomal RNA |
| Satellite | Contains nucleolar organizer regions |
| Telomere | Protects chromosome ends from deterioration or fusion |
